HOVERFLY Myathropa
florea
- The wing venation of this
very common species may be seen clearly in this
photograph. Although this particular hoverfly is
relatively easy to recognise by its colour pattern this
is the exception rather than the rule as there are many
other superficially similar species. Close scrutiny of
the structural features and comparison with entomological
identification keys are essential for the authoritative
identification of the majority of flies to species level.
This may not be the end of the story as there are still
unresolved classifications, even in the British fly
fauna, one of the most exhaustively studied groups of
insects.
